You have been in Canada for a while. You have worked hard to build your life here. And now there is one thing standing between you and permanent residency — or citizenship, or your academic program: the CELPIP test.
You do not need more grammar classes. You need someone who knows this test inside out, and who can show you exactly what the examiner is looking for.
​
You are in the right place if:
• You need a qualifying CELPIP score for permanent residency, Canadian citizenship, or academic placement
• You have taken the test before and did not reach your target score
• You want real practice materials — not guesswork — and honest, specific feedback
• You learn best one-on-one, at your own pace, with a teacher who is fully focused on you
This course is not for you if you are looking for a general English class. The CELPIP is a specific test. This course prepares you for that specific test — nothing else.
12 hours of private instruction, delivered as 8 sessions of 90 minutes each — all online.
Every session is live and one-on-one with Greg. No group classes, no recorded lectures you watch alone. You work directly with the person who knows this test better than anyone.
Practice the full CELPIP test every class
You will not study about the test — you will do the test. Each session includes real, full-test practice so the format becomes familiar and the time pressure stops feeling like pressure.
Real CELPIP practice materials included
You do not need to buy anything else. Authentic practice materials are provided as part of the course, at no extra cost.
Weekly feedback on your Speaking and Writing
Between sessions, you record your Speaking answers and submit your Writing responses through Google Docs. Greg reviews them and gives you detailed, written feedback each week — so you know exactly what to fix before the next session.
Access to Greg's full lesson library
You get free access to Greg's Skool site, where all lesson content lives. Review any topic, any time, at your own pace — between sessions or after the course ends.
Proven test-taking strategies
After 10 years preparing students exclusively for CELPIP, Greg has mapped the patterns the test follows and the techniques that consistently produce higher scores. You get those strategies, not generic English tips.

FAQ
How much does the course cost?
The course is $600 CAD, all-in. That includes all 8 sessions, the practice materials, and Greg's weekly written feedback on your Speaking and Writing. There are no hidden fees and nothing extra to purchase.
How long does the course take?
The course is 8 sessions, each 90 minutes long — 12 hours of instruction total. Sessions are scheduled weekly, so most students complete the course in about two months. The pace can be adjusted to fit your timeline.
Is this course online?
Yes, entirely. Sessions are conducted online, so you can join from anywhere in Canada. You do not need to travel, and you can take your session from home.
What if I have a test date coming up soon?
Greg works with students at different stages of readiness. When you book, let him know your test date — he will tell you honestly whether the timeline works and how to make the most of the time you have.
I have already taken the CELPIP and did not reach my target score. Can this course still help me?
Yes. Many of Greg's students come to him after one or more attempts that did not go as planned. The course focuses on the specific skills and strategies that move scores — not general English. If you know what your weak sections are, Greg will address them directly.
What if I finish the course and still do not pass?
If you complete all assigned work throughout the course — weekly homework, video lessons, pronunciation practice, grammar exercises, daily assigned reading, and any other activities assigned for your success — Greg will schedule one complimentary session with you to review your scores and discuss next steps. This applies to every student who meets that commitment, and Greg considers extenuating circumstances on a case-by-case basis.
Do I need to be an advanced English speaker to join?
No, but you need to be comfortable having a conversation in English. The course focuses on test strategy and exam skills, not foundational grammar. If you are unsure whether you are ready, reach out before booking — Greg is happy to answer questions.
Do you offer anything for referrals?
Yes. If you refer someone to the course and they sign up and pay, you receive a free 30-minute session as a thank-you. There is no limit — every referral who enrolls earns you another session.
